The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to
severely conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the
nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to
strive for more ethical cohabitation. Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman
and Posthuman in Literature and Culture tackles this severe matter
within the framework of literary and cultural studies. The emphasis
of the inquiry is on the various ways actual and fictional
nonhumans are reconfigured in contemporary culture - although, as
long as the domain of nonhumanity is carved in the negative space
of humanity, addressing these issues will inevitably clamor for the
reconfiguration of the human as well. The Open Access version of
this book, available at

This book presents new conceptual and theoretical approaches to
violence studies. As the first research anthology to examine
violating interpersonal, institutional and ideological practices as
both gendered and affective processes, it raises novel questions
and offers insights for understanding and resolving social and
cultural problems related to violence and its prevention. The book
offers multidisciplinary perspectives on various forms and
intersections of different types of violence. The research ranges
from the early modern era to the present day in Europe, US, Africa
and Australia, representing disciplines such as gender studies,
history, literature, linguistics, media and cultural studies,
psychology, social psychology, social work, social policy,
sociology and environmental humanities. With its integrative
approach, the book proposes new ideas and tools for academics and
practitioners to improve their theoretical and practical
understandings of these phenomena as a source of multidimensional
inequality in a globalized world.
